Investigation of Extractables or Volatiles Remaining After Ultraviolet Cure Of Primary Optical Fiber Coatings

摘要

In this study, various model coating formulations were evaluated in order to determine the amount of chemically unbound material that remains in the coating after ultraviolet cure. Experimental coating formulations were cured under ultraviolet light. the curred films were then subjected to both solvent extraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The results of this study indicate that even though ultraviolet curable coatings are generally considered 100
